Of Sound Mind II

[GnomeWorks]

Alderney sits down on a crate, taking a pipe out of his pocket. He lights it and takes a pull of smoke. He pulls off his hat, tossing it onto another box, and a third eye blinks at you from the centre of his forehead.

Seraphina is slightly surprised at the stranger's third eye, but retains her composure and doesn't let her surprise show through on her face.

"Thank you for your time, good sir." Seraphina says, nodding her head slightly at the three-eyed man in thanks.

Seraphina then heads back to the inn.

[color=sky blue]Jarval, about what time is it now?[/color]

Seraphina is slightly surprised at the stranger's third eye, but retains her composure and doesn't let her surprise show through on her face.

OOC: Hmmm, I may not be the only Kureshim around....

OOC: Hmmm, I may not be the only Kureshim around....

[color=sky blue]Heh. Well, Seraphina isn't that old, or that worldly... even if she's been around one kureshim for awhile, seeing another one would still probably surprise her. [/color]

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

Kerrick hurries over to Seraphina once she's done talking to the Kureshim. "Wait up! I didn't think it was a good idea for any of us to be off alone. So if you don't mind i'll be comin to the meetin with you."

"I think this'll be too tough a climb. Does anyone have enough rope we can try to lasso that piton up there?"

 

[Jarval]

OOC: Gholog:
The piton is about 40' up the rock face, so is easily in the reach of a lasso. However, you can easily climb up to it without aid, and about 10' past it. After that, the going gets much tougher.

Seraphina:
It's about 5 in the afternoon, you'd guess.

Kureshim are fairly common in the Alderman duchy, due mostly to Duke Gregor's influence. However, outside of this area they are rare, often being persecuted by other races.

Seraphina laughs lightly and quietly. "Certainly you can come with me, Kerrick, although we may only be attending the meeting for a few minutes..." She says, keeping her voice low so that only Kerrick can here. "I plan to 'investigate' the town while the townspeople are in the meeting, if you know what I mean. With two of us, though, we may be able to look through the town faster and attend more of the meeting, which may give us better clues of what's going on."

She pauses, and looks at him thoughtfully. "Your thoughts on that?"

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

"Sure! Sounds good ta me speed, you might say, is a specialty of mine." Kerrick grins at no one in particular. "How do you want ta divy the place up?"

Seraphina thinks for a moment.

"Hmm... I don't know. You're faster than me, so you might want to take the outer parts of the village, further away from the plaza - you can reach them faster than me, and you can navigate them faster. I'm more of a people-person, so I'll stay at the meeting a little longer, perhaps a couple of minutes, and then look around in the closer buildings. I might be able to talk some information out of people, and I might be able to bluff my way out of a bad situation if I get myself into one. The further you are from the plaza, though, I'd think that you'd have less of a chance of running into someone."

"As for what to do... just look for anything that's unusual. Anything that seems out-of-place in a village like this. Wierd passages, that kind of thing."

"When the meeting is over - which I don't know when that will be, but there will probably be some sort of sign - meet me back at the inn so that we can piece together what we found, and examine it more carefully."

"One more thing: don't take anything. Take notes on what you find, write down any writing, but don't move anything or mess with anything. If anything is out of place, and someone notices it, they will probably freak out and get more cautious, and that wouldn't be good for further investigating."

"Alrighty! Sounds like we got ourselves a plan, as soon as the meeting starts i'll make my move." Kerrick scratches his head,"Until then what'd ya say ta a drink?"
